MC Catherine du Peloux Menagé

How do a lawyer and a journalist become crime fiction authors?
Shamini Flint and Meg Keneally discuss the changes in their lives that resulted in second (or third) careers as writers.
What was the moment from which there was no turning back? What surprised them about the writing journey? How did they find publishers? What advice would they give to someone considering a new life as a crime fiction author?
Shamini is a lawyer and children’s author who increasingly spends her time crafting the Inspector Singh Investigates series and, most recently, The Beijing Conspiracy.
Meg, an ex-reporter and radio producer, is the author of Fled and the Monsarrat Series of historical murder mysteries with co-author Tom Keneally
Live TAF2020 Replay Q&A: In comment section, between 6.30pm and 7.30pm, Meg Keneally and others, followed by Facebook livestream Q&A 7.30pm to 7.45pm with Meg.
